You'd think there was a simple answer, wouldn't you? But no, of course there isn'. The first church was begun in 700, but the Normans replaced it in 1085, and then when the new Gothic style came in, it was rebuilt from 1195. Bits were added regularly until 1500, then some of the bits were knocked off at the Reformatiuon and even more in the Civil War in the 17th century. Some restoration was done from 1660, but the cathedral wasn't back to its former glory until a complete restoration in 1855-1878.
Of the Saxon church, nothing survives some carved stones from a tomb.
Of the Norman church, there remain a few bits of interior stonework.
The Gothic church (1195-1350 or so) is what can be seen today, though considerably repaired and restored down the ages.

Which street links Liverpool's Anglican cathedral to its Catholic counterpart?
Hope Street
Which saint is Liverpool cathedral dedicated to?
Liverpool has two cathedrals - the Anglican cathedral and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Because of its shape, and because of a large Catholic Irish immigrant population in Liverpool, the Roman Catholic cathedral is affectionately known by the locals as 'Paddy's Wigwam', although its official title is the 'Metropolitan Cathedral of Liverpool'. The mammoth Anglican cathedral is by far the larest cathedral in the UK, and the largest Anglican church worldwide, even though the present cathedral is a fraction of its originally intended size. Neither cathedral is dedicated to a saint solely; The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Christ the King, and the Anglican Cathderal is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is very apt that the cathedrals are at both ends of the same street - the very appropriately named Hope Street.
